too warm on foam pad: Any ideas about dealing with the problem?

I had the same prob. The manufacturer suggested an extra mattress pad on top. I put two and it worked like a charm!

Yes. I don't see why not. I bought a cover for the mattress so if you do that, the heated mattress pad won't be directly on the foam.

I think all memory foam holds your body heat to some extent. I sewed some pillow cases for mine so with the extra layer between me and the pillow I haven't noticed it being hot. Although it has been fairly cold here yet, so I guess we'll find out soon enough!

I got too warm! Very comfy and no aches this morning, but took awhile to adjust to the feel. I had to keep my feet uncovered part of the night and felt too warm if in one position too long. It was 47* outside last night and I had windows open. I'll keep trying...

Sorry Rick I don't know. What does a heating pad do to a memory foam pillow?

You might try the "Bodymed Digital Moist Heating Pad. It measures 14x14 inches, it can be set from warm to very hot temperature. You can lock in your most comfortable temperature and it stays on for up to a hour long. This I'm sure is a safety feature. The control pad does not light up which I thought was a minor issue. Cost about $40.00. Good luck.

Try Restricting airflow, this will help heat the area. Like cover some off the screen cover ect....

Although I cannot answer from an expert point of view, I would think that if it was hot enough to do damage to the foam, it would be too hot to be comfortable for your body. Just keep the setting to the lower three or four settings.

I placed it under the mattress pad. Doesn't seem to compress the foam pad too much

Yes the chillgel pad does lose its coolness on memory foam beds. I get hot flashes & find that it doesn't stay cool much longer after one whether it's on the bed or not.

Not due to heater, but I have to say that the material made me hot. I put it on the bed this year without plugging it in because the plushness of the pad feels so nice, but I woke up with whatever side was making contact with the bed all sweaty. This happened every night for a week before I took it off and then I didn't sweat anymore. It is really plush and nice, but I guess it doesn't breathe very well. Everyone is different though, and this is just my experience. It might be fine for you.

We haven't noticed any temperature problem. Overall we have been very pleased with the pad.

I have this mattress pad on a Tempurpedic mattress and I do not find it to be hotter than normal.

NO! not at all, that's one of the key characteristics I love about it. I've always had heat issues with mattress pads, foam, etc. I will definitely buy this again when my current one needs replacing.

I put a waterproof pad on the cushion to protect it from that very problem. It works very well.

I'm not the best person to ask about this, as I am always cold and sleep w/a heated mattress pad on my side of the bed, but my husband, who is always warmer than I, has never complained about being sweaty on his side of the bed. My daughter, who has a different company's memory foam mattress, doesn't mention anything like that either. Hope this is helpful! Much success to you!

Yes but I would put the pad in a pillowcase and put a hand towel over the pad as it gets quite hot even on the lowest setting.
